Anakyn is back now, with his brand-new single "Call Me," a highly personal track that reintroduces him to you with purpose and intent. "Call Me" is the culmination of around 500 hours of painstaking work, proof that Anakyn never really switches off.
The track is infused with the DNA of Anakyn's lifelong commitment to music, something that's been at the heart of the producer's life since he was four years old. For "Call Me," he instead defies the folks who have projected doubt about him across his journey, turning those obstacles into an anthem that throbs with strength. It's a foray into the burden of outside doubt, but musically, the track stands as a testament to Anakyn's resolute drive to keep pushing forward.
Blending influences of Oliver Tree, hip-hop, and surf rock, Anakyn creates his own unique sound. Tasking you with exploring the middle section of a level is this captivating instrumental, which finds calming ocean wave textures coalescing with a monstrous sub-bass and knocky percussion. The result is an act that feels both calming and shocking, as if you are trapped between serenity and adrenaline.
Every layer, from the surf-kissed riffs to the genre-bending rhythms, feels meticulously placed, but the end result hums with airy ease. It's the sort of track that works well in headphones but wants to be heard in open space, in motion perhaps on a long drive, just as the evening is approaching and the water's edge comes into view. Anakyn Gray ignifies the next stage of his evolution with "Call Me." It's a short, sharp, emotionally cutting dose of alternative pop that confirms his voice as one to watch. A year in the making, Anakyn serves up a unique double header that is personal for what promises to be a glorious future.
